Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, machine, device, and/or manufacture adapted for and/or resulting from, and/or a method configured for, activities that can comprise and/or relate to, installing a support system for a green wall, the support system comprising a plurality of trays that are configured to interface with a securement system.

An irrigation device includes: a cell plug that includes an opening facing upward and an accommodation part that accommodates a predetermined amount of culture medium in communication with the opening; a liquid supply unit that supplies a liquid to a culture medium of the cell plug; and a cell plug lifting unit that lowers the cell plug when a weight of the cell plug is increased by a liquid supplied by the liquid supply unit and lifts the cell plug when a weight of the cell plug is decreased by drying of a culture medium. The liquid supply unit includes a contact end that is intermittently brought into contact with a culture medium by lifting and lowering of the cell plug by the cell plug lifting unit, performs liquid supply while the contact end is in contact with a culture medium, and stops liquid supply when the contact end is separated from a culture medium.

A stormwater planter system containing plant material being comprised of a container fabricated of concrete, metal, plastic, or the like, that captures surface rainwater runoff or roof rainwater runoff whereby debris, sands, sediment, pollutants within the water are separated, treated and/or attenuated via multiple processes within a predetermined organic and/or non-organic aggregate material layer. The water is then discharged from the container either through internal pipe, or by direct infiltration into the subsurface environment. More particularly, the system incorporates features and structures to enable ease of maintenance, and healthier plant growth without competition from weeds and other non-desirable plant material.

Provided is a modular growing panel system for attaching vegetation to a surface of a structure. In one aspect, the modular growing panel system includes a growing substrate with a plurality of layers formed into a tile that is rigid and self-supportive of vegetation being grown in the growing substrate. A binder attaches one or more of the tiles to each other and forming the modular growing panel system. In another aspect, the modular growing panel system includes a growing substrate with a plurality of layers formed into a tile that is rigid and self-supportive of vegetation being grown in the growing substrate. A framework for holding and attaching one or more tiles to the structure includes an upper channel having a slot that corresponds to the depth of the tile and a lower channel also having a slot corresponding to the depth of the tile.

A living wall system or method involving a plurality of living wall modules. Each living wall module has a module body enclosing a module plenum, the module body having a growth media port and at least one duct port in fluid communication with the growth media port via the module plenum. The plurality of module plenums are interconnected through the plurality of duct ports to form a recirculation plenum. At least one directional blower is received within the recirculation plenum, the at least one directional blower between at least one upstream living wall module and at least one downstream living wall module to direct fluid flow from the at least one upstream living wall module to the at least one downstream living wall module.

A system for raising and lowering objects includes a carriage subsystem with a tubular body having an interior central channel an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of an elongated tubular support structure. A plurality of guides facilitate linear translation of the carriage on the vertical structure without marring. At least one hook on the carriage pivots to engage a slot on the support structure for locking the carriage in a raised position. Objects are attached to a flange on the carriage. A winch and cable control motion of the carriage.

A controlled environment agriculture system maximizes high quality yield, plant or organism density, and life cycle productivity. A combined structure contains automated conveyance and more than two vertically stacked planes of horizontal track that plants traverse throughout their life cycle. Nutritional support, controlled lighting, controlled climate and air flow are managed at each plane and coordinated across all planes as a system for optimized life cycle productivity. Plant or organism growth carriers are conveyed and connected to multiple planes with controlled elevators that enable continuous movement of plants throughout their lifecycle from seedling to harvest in a serpentine, carousel, or straight path configuration. Plants enjoy a variety of controlled environmental conditions including lighting, airflow, CO2, temperature and humidity configured to their organism type and optimized by life cycle stage. The ongoing movement provides an optimal environment for robust plant growth, eliminates the opportunity for pests to settle and lay eggs, and enables the ability to course correct organisms to higher yields.

A system and method for flexibly displaying information from interchangeable faceplates located on a planter box, a wall mounted display and a yard mounted display, where a single NC file is used to define the visual appearance of each of said faceplates.
